  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Anyone smoke a Forbidden X?

I've recently come across a couple Fuente Forbidden X. Has anyone tried one of these? I haven't been able to find much about these cigars, so I'm wondering what to expect.

Fantastic smoke! I don't think you will be disappointed with the money you spent! I have recently smoked one at a herf with another Brother and we both thought it was one of the best sticks that we have smoked!! Let us know what you think.

it smokes like an opus and i have found that opus is best with some age on it, it is well worth the price and HTF!!!

Good to know. This would be my first experience with the Opus family of cigars. Up until recently I figured a smoke like this would probably be wasted on me.

All told, it may still be, but the curiosity is killing me. :)

There is more than one Forbidden blend, but I'm never found one I didn't love, smoked one on Halloween night with a good pal. I think they are a bit smoother and better balanced than the regular Opus.

My favorite Casa Fuente I have Customers With Me and I Am On An Expense Account Cigar. $150.00. But then nothing is too good for my customers. :stretchgr

And how was that first Opus?
Fantastic, actually. After hearing all the talk my inner skeptic was all ready to go off on a tirade about hype and marketing, but in the end it was a really nice experience. For what it costs, not something I'll probably smoke many of, but certainly something I'll look forward sharing with good people to mark special occasions.
